I enjoyed the post about Trying to use a terminal only laptop.

Quality post, with plenty of useful and good advice.

I’m happy to see sqlite being recommended - I think people don’t realise how resilient and performant a database it is.

Very surprising to hear you need to restart GoToSocial to add new users!

100% the second one. It’s the idiomatic way to do this in Rust, and it leaves you with an immutable object.

I personally like to move the short declarations together (i.e. body down with language_id (or both at the top)) but that’s a minor quibble.

Maybe if that site’s also hosted on an old phone running Termux.

Short selling is when you borrow a stock, then sell that stock, then buy it back in time to return it. The idea is that you think it will go down, so you can buy it back at a discount and make a profit.

A put is when you have the option of doing that – i.e. if it doesn’t go down you don’t have to do anything with the stock, and you’ve only lost the fee you paid for the put contract. It’s a way of hedging your bets.
